Submissions from the floor:

Kathleen Beaumont, 6415 London Road stated that she is pleased with the overall concept of the proposed development but stated the following concerns: (i) there are few places in the neighbourhood where outdoor play can take place, and current residents are concerned that basketball games are played in laneways; (ii) there should be a reduction in the use of exposed concrete, as it gives the appearance of an industrial development, and this could be softened by the use of plant material; (iii) utility cables should be buried; (iv) a landscape plan that is well-defined and generous with trees and shrubs should be considered; and (v) streetscapes should have clear design guidelines, and should limit the use of bright white concrete surfaces.
